    Police arrested 37-year-old Lauren Vanarsdale Jackson of Junction City on three charges of possession with intent to distribute drugs within 1,000 feet of a school. Additional charges included felony possession of drug paraphernalia, felon in possession of a firearm, aggravated assault, criminal threat.

    Police also arrested an unidentified juvenile on a possession a felony drug paraphernalia charge, illegal possession of a firearm and possession with intent to distribute marijuana within 1,000 feet of a school.

    The alligator was placed into the custody of the Milford Nature Center. It is against city ordinance to have alligators in the city limits.
